I live in a city with four distinctive seasons. For example, in summer is usually extremely hot, usually above 35°, while in winter it gets bitterly cold and sometimes freezing. It rains a lot.

Neither. I prefer staying in a comfortable temperature, uh, for example, I prefer spring seasons at the temperature about 25° and it is suitable for me to go outside and uh, do exercise outdoors.

Examiner

Do you prefer dry or wet weather?

Maybe the wet weather because the I prefer sleeping in rainy days and listening to the sounds, but it is difficult to dry my clothes in rainy weather. Yeah, it has both sides.

Examiner

I checked the weather forecast nearly every day before going to bed because I want to know if I need to bring an umbrella the next day or where the waterproof booths or taking out a heavy coat outside.

The extremely weather are become more and more frequent because when I was a kids I suddenly heard about the extremely weather such as the tsunami and so on but in recent years I.

Part 1

What's the weather like where you live?

Score: 72.0

Suggestion: Be more concise and correct grammar (e.g., subject-verb agreement and articles). Use one clear topic sentence and then one or two specific details. Avoid repeating words like "usually".

Example: I live in a city with four distinct seasons. Summers are very hot, often above 35°C, while winters can be bitterly cold and sometimes drop below freezing. We also have a lot of rain throughout the year.

Do you prefer cold or hot weather?

Score: 78.0

Suggestion: Start with a clear topic sentence and reduce filler words ("uh"). Give one concise reason and a concrete example. Use correct phrasing for temperature and activities.

Example: I prefer mild weather rather than hot or cold. For example, I like spring when the temperature is around 25°C because it's comfortable for walking and exercising outdoors.

Do you prefer dry or wet weather?

Score: 70.0

Suggestion: Correct small grammar mistakes and organize ideas with linking words (e.g., "however"). Provide two clear, balanced reasons, one for preference and one drawback.

Example: I prefer wet weather because I enjoy listening to rain and find it relaxing. However, it has drawbacks — for instance, it's hard to dry clothes when it rains a lot.

Are you in the habit of checking the weather forecast? When and how often?

Score: 66.0

Suggestion: Use correct tense and clearer phrasing ("I check" not "I checked"). Avoid awkward or unclear phrases like "waterproof booths". Be specific about frequency and purpose in two short sentences.

Example: I check the weather forecast almost every night before bed. I do this to know whether I need an umbrella or a heavy coat for the next day.

What do you think are the effects of climate change in recent years?

Score: 42.0

Suggestion: This answer is incomplete and has many grammar errors. Finish your idea, use correct forms ("extreme weather events have become more frequent"), and give specific effects (e.g., floods, heatwaves, agricultural impact). Keep to two to three clear sentences.

Example: Extreme weather events have become more frequent in recent years. For example, we now see more floods and heatwaves, which damage crops and increase health risks for vulnerable people.

Would you like to visit other cities that have different climates from where you live?

Score: 68.0

Suggestion: Correct pronoun use and phrasing ("I'm glad to experience" or "I enjoy experiencing"). Expand slightly with reason why you want to visit different climates and give one clear example of a past trip with correct tense and detail.

Example: Definitely. I enjoy experiencing different climates because it broadens my perspective. For example, I spent two weeks in Harbin last year to experience heavy snow and very cold winter days.

Grammar

Present tense issue

× I live in a city with four distinctive seasons. For example, in summer is usually extremely hot, usually above 35°, while in winter it gets bitterly cold and sometimes freezing. It rains a lot.

I live in a city with four distinct seasons. For example, summers are usually extremely hot, often above 35°C, while winters get bitterly cold and sometimes freezing. It also rains a lot.

Errors: incorrect present tense / sentence structure and adjective form. 'In summer is usually extremely hot' lacks a subject and needs plural/continuous reference: use 'summers are' to describe habitual climate. 'Distinctive' is better as 'distinct' when describing seasons. Use 'often' rather than repeating 'usually' and include unit '°C' for clarity. 'It also rains a lot' adds connective word for cohesion. Suggestion: Use plural subjects when speaking about habitual conditions across seasons (e.g., 'summers are', 'winters are'), choose correct adjective collocations (distinct seasons), and ensure each clause has a subject and verb.

Present tense issue

× Neither. I prefer staying in a comfortable temperature, uh, for example, I prefer spring seasons at the temperature about 25° and it is suitable for me to go outside and uh, do exercise outdoors.

Neither. I prefer staying at a comfortable temperature. For example, I prefer spring, when the temperature is about 25°C and it is suitable for me to go outside and exercise outdoors.

Errors: tense and noun-number usage and sentence structure. 'Staying in a comfortable temperature' should be 'staying at a comfortable temperature'. 'Spring seasons' is redundant; use 'spring' (the season). 'At the temperature about 25°' needs reordering to 'when the temperature is about 25°C'. Remove filler words and redundant 'do' before 'exercise'. Suggestion: Use correct prepositions with 'temperature' ('at a temperature of' or 'when the temperature is'), use singular for a named season, and avoid redundant verbs.

Incorrect use of pronouns

× Maybe the wet weather because the I prefer sleeping in rainy days and listening to the sounds, but it is difficult to dry my clothes in rainy weather. Yeah, it has both sides.

Maybe wet weather, because I prefer sleeping on rainy days and listening to the sounds, but it is difficult to dry my clothes in rainy weather. Yes, it has both advantages and disadvantages.

Errors: incorrect article/pronoun use and preposition choice. Remove the extra 'the' before 'I'. Use 'on rainy days' not 'in rainy days'. 'Both sides' is informal; 'both advantages and disadvantages' or 'both pros and cons' is clearer. Suggestion: Check for extraneous articles, use correct prepositions with time expressions ('on rainy days'), and prefer clearer vocabulary for balanced statements.

Past tense issue

× I checked the weather forecast nearly every day before going to bed because I want to know if I need to bring an umbrella the next day or where the waterproof booths or taking out a heavy coat outside.

I check the weather forecast nearly every day before going to bed because I want to know if I need to bring an umbrella the next day, where waterproof boots are, or whether I should take out a heavy coat.

Errors: incorrect past tense and sentence structure. Student mixed past 'checked' with present reason 'because I want'. Use present simple 'I check' for habitual action. 'Waterproof booths' is incorrect; intended 'waterproof boots' or 'shelters' and needs a verb: 'where waterproof boots are' or 'where waterproof booths are' depending on meaning. 'Taking out a heavy coat' should be 'whether I should take out a heavy coat'. Suggestion: Match tense to habitual actions (use present simple), choose correct nouns ('boots' not 'booths'), and use parallel structure when listing options.

Sentence structure errors

× The extremely weather are become more and more frequent because when I was a kids I suddenly heard about the extremely weather such as the tsunami and so on but in recent years I.

Extreme weather events have become more and more frequent. When I was a child, I suddenly heard about extreme events such as tsunamis, but in recent years I...

Errors: article and noun form, subject-verb agreement, tense and incomplete sentence. 'The extremely weather' should be 'extreme weather events'. 'Are become' is wrong; use present perfect 'have become' to express change over time. 'When I was a kids' should be 'When I was a child'. Sentence ends abruptly; complete thought is needed. Suggestion: Use correct noun phrases ('extreme weather events'), use present perfect for trends ('have become'), ensure subject-verb agreement, and finish sentences with a complete idea.

Past tense issue

× Definitely, yes. I'm glad you experienced something new. For example, I went to Harbin last year for half a month to experience the heavy snow and freezing winter day.

Definitely, yes. I'd love to experience something new. For example, I went to Harbin last year for half a month to experience heavy snow and freezing winter days.

Errors: incorrect pronoun/use of tense and noun plurality. 'I'm glad you experienced something new' is wrong in context; speaker likely means they would like to experience something new: 'I'd love to experience something new.' 'Freezing winter day' should be plural 'freezing winter days' when referring to a period. 'The heavy snow' can be 'heavy snow' without 'the'. Suggestion: Ensure the response matches the question (visiting other cities) and use plural nouns when referring to multiple days, and choose appropriate modal to express willingness ('I'd love to').
